  • Dangerous or just useless? | Therapist tests AI therapy | Gabriel Ellis, PhD
    Jan 12 2026

    Can artificial intelligence replace a real therapist? Many people in psychological distress are turning to AI like ChatGPT. In this realistic experiment, psychotherapist Gabriel Ellis tests whether ChatGPT, with good prompts, can operate as a client-centered therapist comparable to Carl Rogers. The result is, in most cases, a clear and well-founded warning about the limitations of AI in psychotherapy.Free introductory consultation: https://calendly.com/gabriel-ellis/30minHomepage: https://www.gabriel-ellis.com/Email: therapy@gabriel-ellis.com

  • ChatGPT fails as a psychotherapist | AI put to the test | Dr. Gabriel Ellis
    Dec 18 2025

    Can AI tools like ChatGPT serve as a substitute for psychotherapy, at least for advanced users? In this live-simulated session, the user becomes frustrated with too much information or simply receives bad advice. As a therapist, ChatGPT is a well-structured con artist who can summarize unempathetically but cannot read between the lines.In the next episode, I will simulate a client a client who is exceptionally well-informed. Let's see if there is any chance for ChatGPT to be a decent therapist after all!Free introductory consultation: https://calendly.com/gabriel-ellis/30minYoutube: https://youtu.be/CPjrpkgH-McHomepage: https://www.gabriel-ellis.com/Email: therapy@gabriel-ellis.com

  • Psychotherapist tests ChatGPT: Dangerous for inexperienced users!
    Dec 5 2025

    In this episode, I introduce the problematic nature of therapy with "artificial intelligence." I show what happens when an inexperienced user tries to use AI as a psychological advisor. I explain why this type of use can quickly lead to misunderstandings and is even dangerous — and why genuine professional guidance remains indispensable.


    In the next two episodes, I will simulate a client who has some experience with self-development, and finally, a client who is exceptionally well-informed. Let's see how that turns out!
